Thanks for the quick reply. Earlier, I tested my application locally by running ./web2py and it works fine. All the folders as mentioned in the gluon/admin.py are available under ~/web2py.. When I tried to run the application in the GAE development environment (dev_appserver.py web2py), I get this error.
The following are are the sequence to the mkdir error: 1. Welcome application appears 2. http://localhost:8080/admin/default/edit/welcome/controllers/default.py brings up the edit screen 3. Click on 'Site' brings the Installed applications page 4. click on edit under welcome application brings the mkdir error. All I wanted was to insert new tables for welcome application. Is there a different approach to do the same? In an act of desperation, I commented the code in gluon/admin.py as follows: def create_missing_folders(): if not global_settings.web2py_runtime_gae: #for path in ('applications', 'deposit', 'site-packages', 'logs'): #path = abspath(path, gluon=True) #if not os.path.exists(path): #os.mkdir(path) paths = (global_settings.gluon_parent, abspath('site-packages', gluon=True), abspath('gluon', gluon=True), '') [add_path_first(path) for path in paths] I got the same error again, after restarting the application and reverted back Thanks in advance for the help Best Ram On Aug 13, 4:17 am, Massimo Di Pierro <massimo.dipie...@gmail.com> wrote: > You deploying an app that you have not run locally.
